Hi,
Carbo loading is pretty much your second guess -- loading up on carbos for several days leading up to a race. Their is much disagreement as to whether or not it works, but I look at it more in terms of carbos generally being easier foods to digest.
Shin splints is a very general term, and any medical type will tell you it's completely incorrect. Anyway, it usually refers to the area you described, but it can also be the front or outer side of the lower leg.
